One-Pot / One-Skillet Dinners!
One of the best things about one-pot meals are the number of dishes you DON’T have to wash! Recipes for one-skillet or one-pot meals usually have minimal ingredients, but maximum deliciousness and even if you’re entertaining — clean-up is a breeze!

If you have the shrimp and only 20 minutes to get something on the table, try any of Denice’s one-skillet meals – like Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti. You can use white wine instead of chicken stock, add baby spinach and make it gluten-free, or low-carb with zoodles.
Eating Well offers 19 delicious one-skillet dinners made with ground beef — from pasta possibilities to hearty soups. For example, the Mexican Skillet Lasagna replaces noodles with tortilla strips that become tender ribbons in the cayenne and cumin-spiked sauce. Topped with cheddar and cream cheeses, this lasagna is just as soulful as it’s Italian cousin – and as filling.

This recipe went viral two years ago – home chefs were going crazy for #thestew on Instagram – to the tune of 4,000 results. Created by Alison Roman of New York Times Cooking, the Spiced Chickpea Stew with Coconut and Turmeric is a stove-top stew, but we had to include it because of all the rave reviews. Alison crisps the chickpeas in olive oil, then simmers in a garlicky coconut milk (full-fat!) for what is basically a healthy stew. With ginger, turmeric and red pepper flakes the stew contains Swiss chard, kale or collard greens and mint leaves with a dollop of optional yogurt.

Epicurious has several tempting vegan dishes worth a look in its compilation of the 67 Best One-Pot meals. One is the Squash a Vin, the other is the Coconut-Apple Dal, with shredded apples, in a velvety lentil stew seasoned with ginger.
Also spicy and intensely flavorful are Martha Stewart’s Red Lentil Soup with Crispy Fried Ginger, for an Indian-style soup with strong curry powder seasoning, and her Moroccan Meatball Soup with sweet potato, cinnamon and cilantro.
